Corned beef and cabbage have become an Irish-American tradition served for St. Patrick's Day dinners across the country. The beloved dish started with Irish immigrants who replaced Irish bacon in their cooking with less expensive beef brisket. Because corned beef is made from brisket, which can be a tough and lean cut of meat, there are a few tried and true cooking tips to make your St. Paddy's dinner tender and flavorful.
The first cooking tip is to take your time. Cooking brisket low and slow prevents the meat from drying out and breaks down the tough fibers for a succulent texture.
Rinse and dry the brisket. Rinsing the brisket in water will remove excess salt, and patting it dry with paper towels allows you to achieve a crispy outer layer while cooking.
Lastly, slicing against the grain cuts through muscle fibers and tough, chewy pieces, making for more tender meat slices.
This classic sandwich recipe is a great way to use leftover corned beef. Layer in Thousand Island Dressing, Swiss cheese, and sauerkraut with the delicious beef for amazing flavor.
